Doing `self runningWorld` will give you the current world for any object 
(you can even do `7 runningWorld`), as long as run from the Morphic 
process. This would work OK even if there were many active world at once.

The other way to do it is `UISupervisor ui`. UI is a small class that 
handles the creation of Morphic world if needed, and could be expanded 
to handle MVC or other alternative UIs. When asked #ui it will answer 
the main object of whateve UI is active at the time. This can be called 
from any process.

Cheers,
